A father-and son karaoke team have joined forces with Bradford record producers to aid transplant boy Reece Walker-Sharpe.

The nine-year-old, of Dudley Hill, Bradford, amazed doctors after making a quick recovery from a lung transplant.

Now talented singers Steve and Gary Routledge have produced an album Remember When to raise cash for a fund set up in his name.

The pair worked with Bradford-based record producers Taurai Zinyuku and Frank Ryan to create the record.

Father-of-two Gary, 36, warehouse and distribution manager at Bradford manufacturers Robert McBride, said: "We attended a recent auction night and successfully bid for a lot which offered the chance to record a single at Taurai's studio.

"We got it for my dad really just so that he could record a song. We are both keen karaoke singers.

"But just recording a single would not have generated any further revenue for Reece's appeal so we asked if we could do an album.

"Recording it was great fun but it is all about Reece."

The pair roped in friends and business associates to pay for the album's production costs.

"It is an emotive record and 100 per cent of the sales will go direct to Reece," added Steve, 54, managing director of Thornbury-based Square One Patterns Ltd.

"We are very happy with what they have done with our voices and are delighted to be able to help Reece.

"He is absolutely amazing."

All 250 copies of the album created in a first production run have been sold and more are now available.

Taurai, father of Bradford X Factor singing sensation Chenai, lent his Great Horton studio and production skills to put the album together.

He has worked with a host of top pop acts including Boyzone and Peter Andre but was impressed by Gary and Steve's sound.

"They both have good voices and it was a pleasure to work with them for such a great cause," said Taurai.

Freelance producer Frank Ryan, who has worked with the likes of U2, Thin Lizzy and Marianne Faithful, hopes to secure a distribution deal with big name shops.

"We have created a great product for a great cause," said Frank.

Stand-out tracks include cover versions of Boyzone's Words, the Commodores' Three Times A Lady and The Monkees' Daydream Believer.

Reece's grandfather, Brian Walker, 47, hopes the proceeds from the album will help provide some spending money for a dream holiday to Florida.

He said: "It was a surprise when the pair of them said they wanted to do it and when we listened to it we were amazed by how good it was."

The record has also received the thumbs up from Reece himself. He said: "I have listened to it and I like it a lot."

l Copies of the album are available, for a minimum donation of £3, on 0773 7021242.
